Where our minds go

Some ladies were chatting it up the other day when someone threw out the question, "What is moonshine?" The others, all thinking the same thing –- illegal liquor made in a still –- were laughing it up when she said, "When the moon comes out at night."

Here in the Midwest

The Ag/Chem guy, Big Al, well known to local farmers, says this: "A farmer read the label on a seed corn bag and it said ‘Keep in a cool dry place.’ So he planted it!"

An old Sesame Street song goes:
"Movin’ right along, det, do, do, do, do, do!" 

The beauticians at Fabulous are already missing a great Lincoln gal, Barb Cecci. Barb works at Dr. Drake’s office and will be moving to Memphis, Tenn. She’s been a vital part of this community and will be missed. Keep in touch, Barb.

April

It used to be Thanksgiving to New Year's; the season gets longer all the time.

The ad hoc Downtown Beautification Society wants to thank Zane Shelton at Neal Tire for finally taking his Christmas lights down, or was he putting them up early?

Names that get attention

There’s been a suggestion made to LDN. In order to capture the attention of first-time readers, we could rename ourselves Lincoln Daily Nudes. Thanks, friend. We think maybe we’ll stick with the name Lincoln Daily News for now.

Ever been under the gun to get things done?

The newest LDN employee continues keeping us in humor. She is working hard at two jobs and school –- a very busy gal. The other day she asked, "What time is it? Do you know anything about the Alzheimer’s article coming in?"

I answered both her questions.

Two minutes later she asked again, "Do you know what time it is?"

I couldn’t contain my giggles. Maybe we’ll have to get a big old clock for the office.
